Here are the links for the OCR, text-only volumes of The Scientific American from Hathi Trust. To view the volumes in full-imagery mode, however, you’ll need to add the suffix ;view=1up;seq=1 to the ends the URLs.
Here’s the list of volumes from 1846 to 1869 in the “Making Of America” site from Cornell.
Here’s a “Snippet” and “No Preview” list from Google Books. And here’s another “Snippet” and “No Preview” list also from Google Books.
There are lots of extras and duplicates of volumes from various other university libraries, but I have included only one copy of each volume. Where there are no copies at all in Hathi, I have substituted the copy from the “Making Of America” site from the Cornell University Library. Their copies go up to 1869 only, so a few later volumes after 1870 are still missing in Hathi.
